I received one on I75. Was getting on the ramp and nailed it. By the time I reached the end of the acceleration lane I was at 82. Unfortunately there was a sheriff sitting in the median facing me with radar. That ticket cost me 700 between the fine and lawyer, but no points and not on the record. Just call me dumb ass.

2 tickets, one for doing 10 over, and the other was a careless driving(I was street racing caught in the act.).

I got both removed cause I took a stop class for the 10 over and a star class for the careless. Lucky me. I usually don't speed, so that probably won't happen again. And I gave up on the "old" race spots. I was sketchy that day anyways.

all in kph,

1 for doing 147 in a 100 zone (5 points 330 $)
1 for doing 77 in a 50 zone (2 points 125$)


and i got these two for the same infraction....
1 for doing 150 in a 100 zone (5 points 330$)
1 for a double lane cross( 3 points, 270$)

in 3 months


fighting the two last tickets in court in about 6 months, waiting for the court date...
the ****** cops was a jerk, he did not got me with the radar, i was only doing 135. (the damn cop was on the highway beside a truck when i merged onto the highway so i didnt see him so he followed me like 500 m. then i slowed down and then he pulled me over, when he pulled me over, i was directly in front of an exit so i pulled over as quickly as possible, crossed the beguining of the double lane going into an highway exit...he gave me a fine for a ****** double lane cross and he gave me a ticket for doing km more than i was really doing.....

so i got lawyer and a good one.


my neighbor is a cop and he told me to fight it.....without the radar, they have to follow you at least 1 to 2 km to have a good proff of your speed. thats what he told me.

he told me to fight every ticket i will have because 90 % of the time if you go in court to fight a ticket the general prosecutor will lower the fine and points before going in court.

i am folloing my speed limits now like its a religion. speeding cost money. and if i am lucky not my licence suspended for 3 months.

i only have got pulled over once, i was gettign off the exit onto the highways and didnt notice i went from 40 to 80 quickly and a state trooper pulled me over. He came up and told me it was a speed zone corridore (double fines and points) told him i didnt know that, said i was just gettign on the high way to take my drunk friend home. I then told him if i get a ticket with points ill loose my licence for a year because of my past. so he asked who i worked for and i told him the department of transpertation. he asked for my id, looked at it, gave it back and said you have a nice day adam, nice car by the way, get ur drunk friend home safely

it was awsome

Only one. I got sick of the rock-spewing dump truck in front of me so when the road went from 2 lanes to 3 (passing lane in my direction), I stepped on it to get around the truck. Got nailed for 60 in a 50.

Up to about 20 mph over the limit I can understand... beyond that you probably deserve what the court gives you.

Haha. You are implying that I implied that the reason why I agree with the courts on this issue is because I always agree with the courts... but I can assure you I do not.
